Drone strikes man near Bryant-Denny Stadium

When it comes to the number of people that it can seat, the Bryant–Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa is ranked as the eight biggest in the world and the fifth largest in the country. On record, the stadium has seated 101,821 at least 21 times since 2010 after its expansion in that year. The stadium was opened as the Denny Stadium in 1929 and in 1975, the name Bryant was added to honor Paul “Bear” Bryant, the esteemed Alabama coach. The Alabama Crimson Tide (NCAA) and the Alabama High School Athletic Association have the stadium as their home ground, although the latter hosts its Super Six here in the odd-numbered years and in the Jordan-Hare stadium in the even-numbered years.
